Hi --

My system doesn't start up into X11 mode.  If I interrupt the splash screen,
it displays a console login and a message about syetem/xvm/ipagent repeatedly
failing.

/var/adm/messages contains the following:
opensolaris64 svc.startd[7]: [ID 748625 daemon.error] 
system/xvm/ipagent:default 
failed repeatedly: transitioned to maintenance (see 'svcs -xv' for details)

# svcs -xv ipagent
svc:/system/xvm/ipagent:default (xVM PV domU IP address reporting agent)
  State: disabled since Sun Aug 23 14:26:28 2009
Reason: Temporarily disabled by an administrator.
    See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-1S
    See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 5 xVM
    See: /var/svc/log/system-xvm-ipagent:default.log

The log has

[ Aug 23 14:26:27 Method "start" exited with status 0. ]
[ Aug 23 14:26:27 Stopping because all processes in service exited. ]
[ Aug 23 14:26:27 Executing stop method (:kill). ]
[ Aug 23 14:26:27 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/svc-ipagent start 
60"). ]
This service will only run in a PV xVM domU.

**Above repeated many times**

[ Aug 23 14:26:27 Method "start" exited with status 0. ]
[ Aug 23 14:26:27 Stopping because all processes in service exited. ]
[ Aug 23 14:26:27 Executing stop method (:kill). ]
[ Aug 23 14:26:27 Restarting too quickly, changing state to maintenance. ]
[ Aug 23 14:26:27 Leaving maintenance because disable requested. ]
[ Aug 23 14:26:28 Disabled. ]

I have a feeling that this is related to my trying to get VNC to
start up at boot time but I'm at a loss to figure out why or how to
correct it.
